I have no numbers, but it's not my experience in Minneapolis, where I see more people riding, at least some of the time. (And most don't ride all year here, although winter bike commuting is also more popular in my experience.) There certainly are bad drivers, but I don't encounter things other commenters have mentioned, like people yelling. In fact I've noticed better behavior by drivers in the last ten–15 years, like people in cars much more willing to yield when I'm crossing a road from a bikeway. More recently the city has been adding more protected bike lanes, and is now working on better maintenance in the winter, which is ok now but the biggest downside.
